some say screenwriting somewhere in California, others say song recording somewhere in Canada, still others say nothing at all but not for lack of knowledge
but one thing's for sure, here's what his dad's still up to these days, maybe (go to 3:20):

Malkmus had this to say about new Silver Jews material in an interview published in May of this year:
I heard that there's a new Silver Jews record that's in the works, and that you may have made an appearance on it up in Canada. That is not verified, but we did some demos up there. And there are songs that are good songs, but they have not been laid to tape as I know it. Unless it's happening right now.
Would you go back up to play on it? It's not going to be in Canada if it happens, and I don't know. It depends on what the situation is. If it's really going to happen or not. There's potential. The songs exist. They're awesome. They've been vetted through multiple rewrites, and I think that almost all the lines have been put through Google to make sure no one's said them before in any way, shape, or form. (Laughs)
Oh, Google Purity! I remember that. Yeah, it's happening. It's happening in Silver Jews world. We're filthy that way, it's not going to happen with our record. So I think...I'm hoping. All I can say is I'm hoping. I'm not talking much about it. I've been told to just keep it on the down low, whatever's happening. I know there are songs, and they are good. I've heard them.

Who's behind the dark money group bashing @AOC in Times Square? Notorious astroturf firm Berman & Co got $2.5M from the org in 2017. Cavalry LLC, founded by Mitch McConnell's former chief of staff, was paid $419K https://t.co/S4WYiElETS— Andrew Perez (@andrewperezdc) February 21, 2019

cover design is a bit generic postrock -- liked the old one better (although arguably also generic postrock)

what is DB up to? Does anyone have any idea? What happened to the crusade against his dad?
― Nick Chiveon (rip van wanko), Tuesday, 9 April 2019 16:46 (five years ago) link
I seem to recall reading that HBO asked him if he wanted to participate in a documentary about his dad, and he got started, but then backed out because he was afraid he was inadvertently participating in criminal glamorization. Something like that.
he's been active on twitter lately. https://twitter.com/prplmtns

so this is basically a new Silver Jews album. different name but totally the same. first 3 tracks released on spotify are excellent - and US tour dates announced. fingers crossed for european ones soon.

In the last email he sent me, David Berman included this fake picture of a new edition of Actual Air in the old Vintage Contemporaries style. Ugh I'm sad. pic.twitter.com/aSHnEGCP2i— Christopher DeWeese (@lighghghght) August 4, 2020
